you can tell neither of the authors never even interacted with a baby when they wrote this…. Nor did they do any research on what not even one year olds can and cannot physically do….

The plots in these books get dumber by the number, I lose brain cells reading this series

I’m legit so fucking scared right now, it’s not even funny. Debating if I should binge till I finish and potentially don’t sleep/have nightmares or if I should finish tomorrow during daylight

I’m already pissed off, what do you meaaaaaaan you’re letting them in???

YUCK

Finally giving background story and explaining things 320 pages in is insane and actually do not understand how this made it past the editing stage. Like at this point it took so long to learn anything about this main character and world that truthfully I don’t even care

Ewwww. Absolutely NOT. I refuse for this guy to be the love interest

There ain’t no way y’all are romanticising this and actually want me to want them together as a couple after that. I don’t care why he had to do it (🍇), there is no way she should EVER end up with him. This is utterly disgusting, I cannot believe people are actually giving this book 5 stars. It’s not even good. I’ve read 244 of NOTHING substantial. If only I could dnf without feeling guilt

I’m just not liking this 😬 The writing isn’t good, the world and magic system haven’t been properly explained even though we’re 100 pages in, I don’t have a connection for the main character and don’t get the urgency of the situation because of it but also because it hasn’t been explained. Already thinking this has no business been 1000 pages long and it only makes sense if you’ve read the fanfic

guys wtf am i reading? I’m so confused, they just throw you in the middle of it and say words and terms without explaining anything?? If you have to read the fanfic to be able to read the book then it’s just poorly done. Sorry not sorry.

I’m very confused and genuinely wondering if it is possible to read this having 0 knowledge of manacled beforehand

Guys, I'm scared

God, I just really don’t care about a single character in this book

I’m not liking it 🥲

I would love to know why there’s still 180 pages left on this book. Literally nothing has happened other than the obvious thing. Also, Moffy??? Are you kidding me??

Lily annoys the shit out of me bro, I seriously can’t stand her and I don’t understand how anyone does

I want to dnf this so bad. The outright MOCKERY to the immigration process has me so angry

As an immigrant who married an american for love, NOTHING pisses me off more than this trope. Keeps pushing stupid stereotypes about immigrants in a negative way.

I don’t think I’m liking it 🫣

Sloooowly but surely making my way through this one.

I knew I would love James 🩷

The main male character is incredibly insufferable. I can’t stand him and don’t know how anyone could like him let alone fall for him

Oh, wow. I already hate it

I cannot BELIVE this is the book people rave about

I’m sorry but the writing is not good and to top it off the main character is so self centred she’s pissing me off 🫠

NOOOOOOOOOO

I’m scared 🫠

I know I’m reading it super slowly but I am truly enjoying it. Taking my time is probably the best thing to do with this one.

God, this book is so good so far
